why use pelican design?

With over 20 years experience working with a range of clients in Inverness, Skye and throughout the Highlands, we know what it takes to make your business a success.

We’ve been at the forefront of good web design in the Highlands since the late 90s, and were the one of the first local agencies to offer 'in-house' web design.

We believe that good design and functionality are key to your website's success, which is why we give each client a custom design to fit their brand, and make sure the website is as easy as possible for customers to navigate and use.

We pride ourselves on our design work and never use templates in our websites.

All our websites are built to the latest W3C HTML5 specifications, and we now use responsive layouts in all our web designs.

This means that your content adapts itself in a logical and optimal way to display on smaller screens, such as tablets and smartphones, without the need for users to zoom in and scroll around. It also avoids the need for you to pay extra for a mobile specific version of your site.

We think this give a far better user experience and means that your content is not compromised on smaller devices.

It also means that your site is 'future proof' as more and more people use these devices to access the web.
